OT: This city is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for OnlyOffice and Linux

It appears US President Trump is good for Linux.

>From "This city is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for OnlyOffice
and Linux - here's why",
<https://www.zdnet.com/article/this-city-is-dumping-microsoft-office-and-windows-for-onlyoffice-and-linux-heres-why/>:

Is it something in the water? First, it was Denmark bidding Microsoft
adieu. Then it was the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. Now it's
Lyon, France's third-largest city and a leading economic hub, sweeping
Microsoft Windows and Office suite away to replace them with Linux,
OnlyOffice, NextCloud, and PostgreSQL.
...

Training for 10,000 civil servants began in June 2025. Lyon's
migration to Linux is being closely watched as a potential blueprint
for other municipalities seeking greater digital independence and
sustainability. Who knows, the "Year of the Linux desktop" may finally
arrive not because people have grown tired of Windows' manifold
problems or Linux's advantages, but because governments are worried
about putting all their IT eggs in one US-based Microsoft basket.
